  In 2005, when Soul Asylum performed "Misery" live at First Avenue, they were in a period of reflection and resurgence in their career. Their most recent studio album prior to this performance was "The Silver Lining," released in 2006, which marked their return after a five-year hiatus following "Here Again" (2001). This performance at the iconic Minneapolis venue, known for its close ties to the band, demonstrated their enduring connection to their local roots while showcasing the evolution of their sound. Interestingly, "Misery" originally appeared on their highly successful album "Grave Dancers Union" (1992), which helped catapult them to fame. The 2005 performance likely drew on both nostalgia and a renewed energy as they sought to reestablish their presence in the rapidly changing music industry landscape.
